Sydney Lawrence Professor Waltman EN 105 11 NOV 12 What exactly is Ebonics? No one can tell you what exactly it is. It is part English, but at the same time there is a lot more to it than English. There are certain structures that dignify Ebonics, or AAVE (African American Vernacular English), as its own niche in the English language. It is considered a dialect of English and not a separate language.
At the time of the Rastafarian Movement, Jamaicans began to create their own dialect in attempts to protest the imposed English language. Many of these Jamaicans were Rastas who took the dialect further by rearranging English words that have a negative tone. Dialect is very different from an official language. The pronunciations of words in America would not be considered a dialect based on the fact that it was not intentionally
The colonies were in a predicament where they wanted to control their own economic issues but could not because of the strict British control. The British enacted a policy of salutary neglect that provided a sense of pity for the colonies. The British later merged their mercantilist economy into the Triangular trade. Explain what the Triangular trade was. This trade route not only helped the colonial
Haiti and the Dominican Republic have long been divided by their culture, heritage and language. The people of Haiti speak Creole, and are mainly of African ancestry. Whereas Dominicans speak Spanish and identify themselves with their European and Amerindian ancestry; rejecting their black heritage. To be Haitian, is to be black and that is something Dominicans do not want to identify themselves with. Antihaitianismo ideology has long permeated the Dominican Republic’s culture, their ideology and identity.
Cross-racial alliances became less common as a result. Her findings in Cuba were much different. The meaning of race was opposed in Cuba post United States occupation. In Cuba throughout the multiracial sugar plantations, cross-racial alliances were much more common and more successful and powerful. Scott uses these comparisons to demonstrate how racial boundaries became more defined in varying political, social, and geographical regions.
Upon doing so, the scales are not even when some get turned away. The difference in the policy is race. Haiti is located on the island of Hispaniola. The Dominican Republic shares the island. It sits between Cuba and Puerto Rico.
In fact, Blacks were denied education. It was not until after the Civil War that Black people began confronting the issue of illiteracy. In modern day society blacks have low test scores. The ability to articulate words the same as educated Anglo-Saxons has bridged a wedge in recognizing written words. The Black community, as well as teachers needs to understand, that although they have come far from slavery the English patterns learned created a new dialect amongst the African
A group of people who, in my opinion, are still oppressed today is the people of Cuba (specifically the Afro-Cubans). As long as they have the president and government that they have, they will continue to be oppressed. These people are connected to the American Civil Rights era by they too are subject to racism and are politically, socially, and civilly oppressed. They want to be freed from the shackles of oppression and racism, just like African-Americans wanted to be free. But the difference between the both is that Cuba has yet to have a Civil Rights movement, unlike America there is much oppression still going on and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
Hearing of these rights, along with the rumors that they'd been freed by the king, began talk of their true freedom from slavery. Document 3, spoken by Jean-Marie d'Augy, who was strongly for slavery, says that the slaves in Haiti, were no good for anything else then to provide the labor of farming sugar and coffee, the two main products given to the French. An additional document that would provide a better look into the origins of the Haitian Revolution would be a slave's testament to the harsh labor they underwent daily. The process of the revolution was even worse than the origins. They changed the world's outlook of the Haitian people.
Caribbean Latinos are of mixed ancestry, their heritage a genetic combination of the native peoples of the islands (such as the Tainos, the people who used to be called the Carib) along with genetic inheritance from African peoples as well as those of European peoples. There is no single mixture of races that defines the Caribbean Latino like the Puerto Rican The fact that can be seen in the different phenotypes that arise from different genotypes. Caribbean Latinos can look very different from each other: They range in skin color from almost typically Caucasian to as dark in skin tone as those African-Americans who genetics hold little chromosomal material from any place but Africa. Caribbean Latinos are very different from what Americans are likely to think of as “normal” Latinos, those whose primary cultural links are to Central and South American main
